The Improvised Planante at Jacques-Cartier Beach Park: Free Musical Stroll
Parc de la plage Jacques-Cartier
On Sunday, September 13, 2026, from 2 p.m. to 3 p.m., a quartet from the Ligue d’improvisation musicale de Québec will set up at Parc de la plage Jacques-Cartier, by the river, in Sainte-Foy, and will compose on the spot a long musical fable inspired by nature and ambient sounds. The "planante improvisée" is part of the "musical ambiance" cultural strolls of Québec animée; the activity is free and takes place rain or shine, unless conditions compromise the safety of the artists or the public (thunderstorms, strong winds, heavy rain). Source: Québec animée, Ville de Québec, consulted on September 7, 2026. Other dates for the series: Saturday, September 12 (Parc Armand-Grenier), Saturday, September 19 (Parc Victoria), Sunday, September 20 (Maison O’Neill), always from 2 p.m. to 3 p.m. The Voilà Québec tip: an hour of music in a park, without a ticket, fits perfectly between two visits. For the rest of the weekend, see our weekend poster and our page on what to do in Quebec City in September.
